MrMallard 09/21/18 11:48:04 AM #1:	I know Let's Plays have been going out of style since game streaming began to pick up, but hear me out. A lot of the time, you'll see a Let's Play for an RPG that's like a hundred episodes long. A lot of this is grinding, as you spend a lot of time in RPGs fighting random battles and you need to get strong enough to win storyline battles. This can make the idea of an RPG Let's Play or stream a bit daunting. So here's the idea - you have the main Let's Play series for the RPG. This covers the story, any particular sidequests and any battles you encounter on your way between each plot point. But when there's an inconsequential sidequest, or a bunch of time-sink minigames that you should do for good gear (think FFX's lightning dodging), you record that for a separate series of videos. You call it "[Game Title] Outtakes", and you adopt a more casual, streamer-like tone as you do these side quests, so people who want to see you play the whole game have all the content they would ever want, but folks who want an expedient playthrough can watch the main series and get through it without sitting through a bunch of faff. --- I still hear trains at night, when the wind is right. Now playing: Fortnite (NS), Stardew Valley, Tales of Symphonia: DotNW, Borderlands <cite>MrMallard posted [p:909180909] in Let's Play...

They were always more rare but now they just doint exist --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:909180980] in Let's Play...
